A leaked memo by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi directs the Justice Department and FBI to compile a list of groups that may be labeled “domestic terrorism” organizations based on political views related to immigration, gender and U.S. policy. The memo was obtained by independent investigative journalist Ken Klippenstein, who joins us to discuss how it expands on President Donald Trump’s NSPM-7…

Hey FBI I’m over here and I’m so anti trump I think any living relatives he has should be held accountable somehow.
not every living relative lol… Hi niece Mary has very publicly been calling him out on being a piece of shit for quite a while
Tell me again about how this is the “land of the free and the home of the brave”?
Empirical evidence seems to be trending in the other direction.
It never was, but it’s much less so now. Many Americans have believed the propaganda for a long time.
Hasn’t been since Regan. We’re neo-serfdom now.
Damn, I can do all of those things. I wonder how big the bounty is and what you need to do to qualify. I can use a vacation in a tropical
hellholeparadise and a little something to retire on …… it’s probably more likely to pay off than social security“Pedophilia is bad.”
“Alright, straight to jail with you!”

The largest untapped market in the country: people who dislike trump. It’s genius
Fuck off fascists. You gonna arrest 70% of this country??? Even your own “side” is turning on you. “My groceries are too high.” <-- that is anti-PEDOnald. “I don’t like child rapists.” <— that is anti-PEDOnald.
It’s funny because in the early 00s I worked for a gay rights organization and was told pretty flat out, the FBI keeps at least a list with my name on it, if not my own file (holdover from the civil rights era when they did this to all progressive groups). And then Obama came along and we thought a new era was being ushered in. And now in 2025 I run a gay nonprofit and probably have an FBI file again. Oh well, means I’m doing something right, fuck 'em.
I got permabanned from Reddit during the February bloodbath, after 12 years and nearly a million Karma, all while ferociously attacking Republicans, MAGA, and especially Trump, who I always referred to as HitlerPig.
I’m sure Spez turned over ALL the files to DOGE like a good little minion, so they’ve got a nice fat file of ThoughtCrimes® on me.
I just saw that he’s married to Serena Williams, so I now hate her, too.
She is not married to Huffman. She is married to Ohanian.
got to admit, obama played us good. campaign of Hope and Change followed by 8 years of the same tired old playbook
My favorite thing about Lemmy is people are willing to make accurate criticisms about Obama and his policies instead of simping for him because he’s charasmatic and a Democrat.
The left has always criticized Obama. We aren’t a cult.
That depends on what one considers “the left”. Liberals call themselves leftists and a lot of them will defend him to the death.
Liberals only call themselves leftists because right-wingers tell them they are.
There’s a weird disconnect between the left and the right where MAGA especially is so slavishly cultish that their guys can do no wrong. Whereas on the left, we generally have the critical thinking skills to admit that our guys aren’t always doing the right thing.
our guys aren’t always doing the right thing.
The extreme of that being single-issue voters?
It really depends on what you consider a leftist. People on Reddit would call themselves “the left” and act like Obama is flawless and accuse you of being a maga if you feel otherwise.
annoying part is you can see they’re setting up the same shit with Newscom/Pritzker
make some big publicity stunts on tv talking a big game, doing these cute little marches, all while greenlighting ICE to harass their surrounding poor neighborhoods long as they stay out of their donor neighborhoods
No politician should be simped for.
Unfortunately, simping has proven to be very effective :(
Yeah turning politics into a fandom changed the game for the worst in a lot of ways
Now that politics is a team sport, what’s the over/under on how long it takes to legalize gambling on politics? I’m sure the gambling apps are lobbying for that right now.
That shouldn’t fuck up anything, right? Nobody could be bribed to throw a race could they?
Arguably campaign contributions already count as half bet half bribe
We did get the ACA, so it wasn’t all for nothing.
He also had the Republicans fighting so hard against him that they were torpedoing their own bills just because he agreed with them.
Before Trump, the actual powers of the presidency were pretty limited as far as actual policy changes.
the ACA was a corporate wet dream. clearly bought and paid for just like our federal student loan system…just look at their profit margins after it was passed.
The original one wasn’t. Once the Republicans got their fingers in it, it became one.
lol, and it passed with 1 dem flipping, how convenient.
it’s all a circus to these cunts mate, establishment dems are and always have been controlled opposition.
the original was never meant to pass, it was meant to allow dems to shrug their shoulders and go “well, we tried” before giving their donors what they paid for
Ding. Ding. Ding. We. Have. A. Winner.
JFC, it’s so obvious.
It’s still not something Obama had control over.
Not me. When he took that stage in that stadium with his family after his election, to a cheering, adoring crowd, and the TV talking heads going on about Hope & Change, I knew he was going to be one more placeholder Democrat, who will last long enough for everyone to forget what shitheads Conservatives are, and allow them back in power to continue their rampage of destruction. That’s all Carter, Clinton, and Biden were, too. There hasn’t been an effective Democratic president since LBJ.
But they’re the lesser of two evils.
Democrats have been getting played since Clinton.
They literally never learn.
Tired old playbook? The playbook has been rewritten and it’s worse
it’s the same playbook, they just upped their PR game.
and probably have an FBI file again.
I doubt you’ve ever stopped having one.
Thank you. Thanks for sharing this “seen that, didn’t care then, didn’t care now” attitude. This is the way you fight and dispell the stochastic terrorism behind this “leak.”
Dance, be freaky, don’t let the man get in your head.
They are worried that you are trying to turn the FBI gay.
Being a progressive activist is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.
Username checks out, 5/5
Amerikkka, now with thoughtcrime.
Democrats really dropped when the ball when they voted for wet-noodle establishment candidates over progressives like Bernie Sanders.
But hey, at least they don’t have to pay more in taxes!
Trump is the weakest snowflake in the world.
STRAIGHT TO PRISON!
This pathetic POS needs to face the harshest punishment allowed for what he has not only done to little kids but to the entire world.
He won’t. He’ll die of old age after the best medical care in the world exhausts all options to keep him alive.
The best we can hope for is a stroke to give him locked in syndrome so he can experience a narcissist’s hell for a few years first.
Chin up, theres a non-zero chance he will die in his piss while hearing his sycophants squabble over his wasting body like Stalin.
here’s hoping he gets the mussolini treatment.
This is the sad truth, even if the democrats and Republicans somehow united and said ‘to hell with this jackass, let’s arrest him and try him properly’ he will probably die before even that trial is complete.
“We’ll get around to the first hearing in about 15 years.” (Gavel pounds)
In the meantime he pays no bail and is sent to Mar-a-Lago or some ritzy place in New York.
Donald Trump is such a disgusting criminal individual it isn’t funny. Everything he accuses his enemies of he is guilty of himself, including the recent accusations of mortgage fraud.
In his mind rules and laws aren’t for allowing society to function, but as tools to get his enemies in trouble, and at the same none should apply to him.
In addition to compiling a list of undesirables, Bondi directs the FBI to enhance the capabilities (and publicity) of its tipline in order to more aggressively solicit tips from the American public on, well, other Americans. To that end, Bondi also directs the FBI to establish “a cash reward system” for information leading to identification and arrest of leadership figures within these purported domestic terrorist organizations.
Isnt that normal in a country where a poltici comentator was publicly shot and found because of a tip by his familly or that 2 national guard were shoot this month ? The framing seem uterly dishonest
I’ve got a lot of anti-Trump thoughts, how much are they paying for them?
Time to cash in on that sweet sweet tariff money?
This is harder to type than it probably should be. Back in 2015, because of the way I was raised in an extreme conservative evangelical household as a preacher’s kid, I was a Republican. I had already broken with that world in every meaningful way, but I had not actually sat down and examined what I believed. So there I was, still actively involved in politics. I helped campaign for Romney. I made more than three thousand phone calls, which I am pretty sure qualifies as a minor war crime. I was on the election staff of a representative who, for the record, had not been elected yet when I worked for her. I was a special elector. I was on the county central committee. I worked every election since 2011 with an R behind my name.
And then they picked the orange man. I wrote the Chairwoman a very long letter explaining, in polite terms, that this was not going to work for me. I switched my affiliation to Independent. Unfortunately, I still had not figured out where the world was heading, so I voted for Gary Johnson. The less said about that period of my life, the better.
When the Senate Election Committee decided to finance Roy Moore, I walked directly to the courthouse, changed my registration to Democrat, and started working elections for that party instead. There is a point where a person realizes the boat is not just sinking, it was built upside down to begin with.
Anyway, based on the tone of that old letter, I find myself hoping I ended up on a list somewhere for Pam Bondi. It would be nice to feel important for a moment. Besides, what a spectacular waste of resources it would be to track down one Army veteran who lives in an RV in the middle of nowhere.
Out of the current “R” brand spread, Romney at least had some character. I wouldn’t beat yourself up too bad about things you did many many years ago, reflection is hard, growing up is hard - you are a champion for being man enough and introspective enough to grow as a person. Also I enjoyed reading this, thank you for sharing.
I grew up in a strict evangelical Republican household and stayed in GOP politics for years without really questioning my beliefs. I campaigned, worked elections, and was deeply involved—until the party chose Trump. I left, became an Independent, briefly voted for Gary Johnson, then switched to Democrat when the GOP backed Roy Moore. At some point you realize the ship wasn’t just sinking—it was built wrong. Honestly, I kind of hope I made some list in Pam Bondi’s files; it’d be the first time an Army vet living in an RV felt important.
There, easy to type.
Thanks for the summary. Your version is definitely easier to type, but I still prefer the line I wrote earlier: “There is a point where a person realizes the boat is not just sinking, it was built upside down to begin with.”
Still, I appreciate the reply.
That’s not a boat, it’s a roof with no house.
Fair point. Although in a poem I wrote recently, I put it this way: “You learn to read the sky when you cannot trust the roof.”
Still feels about right for the situation.

Well, that’s not bad. 👍
If you want to take all human and emotional connection out of it, sure. Take your chatgpt slop with you.
If the best you can do is accuse me of using ChatGPT instead of responding to a single thing I actually said, that’s not a debate. That’s avoiding one. I write my own stuff. Always have. Sometimes I even manage to get a line right.
But if calling it “slop” makes it easier for you to skip the point, go ahead. I grew up in Iowa. I’ve seen actual slop. What I wrote doesn’t qualify.
They were accusing the summary of being slop, not your post.
I’ll leave it there
Trump is such a little bitch
You’d be in deep trouble if they knew how to read
